Why is the south so stupid? (serious)

Different studies have shown that on average the south is just not very bright as a whole. Why do you think this is? Heavily religious? Clinging to old beliefs? Unwilling to accept the truth (i.e. science), Poor education system?

I took a sociology class and we talked a lot about the disparities between the regions in the US, specifically south v north. Of course there could never be an exact explanation but it is interesting nevertheless. (I live in the south, no not dumb, i aint even mad)
